This season, the Milwaukee Bucks on TV isn’t prime-time viewing unless you are hosting a Draft Lottery party. But when they play the Miami Heat, the chances of some worthwhile viewing get markedly better. Furthermore, when LeBron James decides to make it his own personal slam dunk contest, well, you can just toss the remote out the window and enjoy.

Plzz….none of these dunks can even make it to the semi final. The only fancy dunk he did was the reverse slam which already been done a million times and nothing difficult about that. PG’s 360 in game tops that. The rest of the dunks are just hard slam, that dont win no dunk contest. Shaq can break the backboard on your axx which his powerful slam.

Sorry wade but PG “360” most def WASNT a 360. a 180 and barely. He took off with his back to the basket before he ever jumped. That will NEVER be a 360. Gota take off while your FACING the basket. Could very easily see he spun first while his feet were still on the ground facing away from the basket then jumped. 180 tho wasnt bad

@Witness, incorrect. By the time PG started the dunking action, his body was facing at an angle a little more than forward. True, his dunk was probably no an exact 360 (probably a 315 or 330), nevertheless, it still qualifies as a 360 dunk in term of basketball.

I had the same impression.
Though he runs past defense and then somehow slows the steps while pumping the ball.
But it’s 3 steps after he got the ball in his hand.
Though I’m fine with not getting on that detail in such situation.
Refs usually don’t whistle that no matter which player.

No actually Arifex if you pause the slow mo you can see his LEFT FOOT IS *DOWN* on the FLOOR with the ball not even up to his waist on the GATHER. Then AFTER that he took only 1 step with his right foot then 1 more step with his left foot. NO WAY there was an extra step. THE ball was still BOUNCING ON THE WAY UP and LBJ’s first left foot was ALREADY DOWN. Everyone go slo mo it then. The man most definitely did NOT TRAVEL by ANY definition.

6, 8, 10? Scores of judge Stevie Wonder? Besides he travelled on that second dunk… Guess Stevie missed it.
Does everyone that makes three (two really) in-game dunks get an own atrticle from now on?
Looking forward to see alot of articles about Durant, Griffin, Green, Jordan etc.

Is it really you saying that – the ‘that-dunk-doesn’t-give-you-a-ring-but-dunking-on-our-own-LeBron-will-give-you-big-satisfaction’-lbj or are you a “duplicate lbj”?
Thanks for the first objective comment I’ve seen in a long time.

No it shouludnt. Your just hatin. ANYONE can see he picked the ball up RIGHT before the foul line with a GATHER. on that GATHER bringing the ball up with both hands is not counted..and he had 2 steps after that. Sorry. Keep on hatin

every NBA game has about 2300 travels in them, Lebron, KD, Kobe, whoever…is that a bad thing…maybe…is it nice for us to see someone doing a little more than “travel free lay-up”? well YEAH!! so chose whatever you wanna see, something spectacular or a lame lay-up…

Jordan is not a better dunker than Vince Carter. No one in the NBA has been better than Vince at dunking. In the Olympics, Vince Carter jumped over a 7 footer’s head and dunked the ball for a score. Never seen anything like it since. And remember the one he put on Alonso Mourning? That one was shocking too. Can’t get any better than Vince Carter.

1st: I didn’t see a travel, but with or without travel the second dunk was HUGE.
2nd: the third dunk was really SPECTACULAR and putting up two or more dunks like this in one game might also get KD, Westbrick or anyone else a little tiny article like this.
3rd: Best in-game dunker was maybe Jordan,, but the single best in-game dunk was, HANDS DOWN, Tom Chambers of the Suns against the Knicks in the early 80s. If you don’t believe me, check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDyBSTQDwH8
This even outshines Vince Carter’s Dunk over Weis. Sorry Vinsanity.

The third dunk was the only actually impressive one. These revers Dunks are done on a nightly basis. Where’s Griffin, Plumlee, Green articles on here?

Now, the Durant article talking about him closing in on MVP is impressive. Durant is tearing up the whole league….Lebron just relaxes until a fast break then plays that play. He’s lost his fire. He’s lost his edge.

Gotta love people defending the travel on the second one.
Yes, in the NBA you are allowed a gather step (not explicitly in the rules, but that seems to be the interpretation). That gets you your 2.5 steps. However, there were 3 full steps after the gather on that second dunk.
Then again, it’s not like that would ever be called in a game.

Why cant you just take them for what they were. Nice dunks. Refs grant certain amenities to super stars. they did for MJ, Bird, Magic. In the end he collect two points and a highlight, that’s it. You people act like no ref has missed a travel call in the NBA ever. go scream in a pillow, spank the monkey or something to kill the needless stress you put on yourselves complaining about a miss call.

LBJ, u think u are so special right? All u do is slam dunk and make easy shots. What good are u? And a showoff. U are kidding me, u are going to be on Mount Rushmore, and be the best player in the world, NOT! U really got to be kidding me!

Kid do you watch basketball.. if so have you watched the last 10 years of baksetball.. Please stop be inspired by talent selected few earn with their hard work and LBJ earned it not given.. Please dont write comments like this it really hurts to see your hatred when you should be appriciating ERAs like this.. Man.. wow.. how do they even let you post such bad ignorance..

We refs get lots of flack, truth is when you on the court with lbj and watching him go full speed its hard to see everything all the time. And you guys are right, steps start counting after he picks up the ball.

lebron doesnt join the dunk contest because of his stock value and creativity, lebrons value is the most out of everybody’s in the league right now, and the dunk contest has been out for more than 20 years i believe and there’s just not much more people can do now

Lebron should take the sponsorship instead of Kobe’s from Turkish Airline. All those mileage he racks up from travelling everywhere. Unparalleled stuff to anyone else in the league. Thumbs up to those bangwagon heat fans for being so stupidly oblivious to his travelling

just saying to the lebron haters, that 2nd one was not a travel, anybody with half a brain could see it, so stop hating on the dunk, it was a great dunk, and thats coming from a suns fan, gotta give credit where its due…
